Yarpivo Ledyanoe (Ice Beer)

The aroma is grass, some corn sweetness. The apperance is straw yellow, white head, true to its style. The flavor is grassy, sweet, corn, low signature of malts or hops. The finish is a sweet syrupy corn like residue. Not good. I guess it’s ok for the odious pale lager style.

Pour is a bright yellow with a average white head. Aroma is faint grains and not much else. Flavor is a very weak and very bland. Some sweetness but no hops or malts are present. Still its not skunky and i’ll give it that.

Pours a hazy straw color with 1/2" of white foam and briefly fizzy carbonation. No head retention, no lacing. Mild skunkiness and some citrus in the aroma. Odd, the flavor is nothing like the aroma - no skunk at all, no citrus, little hoppiness. Instead, it has an initial and very brief wheat tang. Then its gone. Completely. This is replaced by a sweetness, tasting a little of honey and a lot of amber candi sugar. It is quite sweet, but shy of being cloying. A small hop presence makes itself known in the finish. Almost medium body, and surprisingly on the flat side.

(Can 50 cl) Clear, pale, pilsener golden with a small, white head. Aroma of brewing cereal (rice) and malt. Medium-bodied, lightly tart notes from the brewing cereal - and then really nothing much more. Overly carbonated. 161106

Pale golden coloured. Light aroma. Mild and fairly clean flavour. Refreshing and quite good.

A light yellow beer with a bubbly white head. The aroma contains notes of straw and brewing cereal. The flavor is sweet yet sourness from the use of brewing cereal lingers in the background, leading to a very dry end with a strong note of hay combined with a slight bitterness. My guess was that there was corn in this beer, but the label tells me, that the brewing cereal used is rice.

A cold icebeer should be very delcate but this one was NOT special. It had a strange taste.

Light Cloudy Yellow/Gold Coloring. Sweet Malt, Some Candy Sugar Notes and a Bitter Ending. Little to Love on This Brew.
